Linpus Lite, holy grail distro?

Post by rockerrock »

I just found out about Linpus Lite!
Sys Req
Processor: Intel, AMD and VIA at 500MHz and up
RAM: Min. 128 MB required
Storage: Min. 512 MB (SATA/IDE/SSD)
Optional external storage device to support installation/recovery

Sounds PERFECT for WEBDT. Also has touchscreen drivers!

I'm going to go try it as soon as it downloads!
UNETBOOTIN does NOT work with this DISTRO. Going to try quote's SLAX usb drive method instead since the ISO directory contains BOOT just as NimbleX uses.

Hey thanks for bringing light to Linpus. Just checked their website out. I like the simple look they offer as a view option. It reminds me of the Ubunutu-mid gui. That is a red hat based distro and that is good. The touchscreen in the DT is a PenMount DMC9000. www.penmount.com will have the drivers we need. Keep us informed on your progress. Be curious to know how you make out.

I was aware of Linpus Lite too, but after seeing the Penmount Drivers I didn't bother... my gut tells me that Linpus Lite won't work with Penmount .... or I could just have an upset stomach and the drivers will work fine.  :)

They haven't released a distro since 2007. That and the download links on the lite distribution are broken. Was a thought.
